Chapter 616: A Surprising Discovery, a Difficult Situation

me a mess of flesh and blood."Let's go!" Yuan Jing and Mu Yiren ignored the wagon train below that was still chaotically battling a horde of monsters. Several ghost-faced men in black and yellow-heade...Having just left the den of wolves, he now entered the lair of tigers. At this moment, Lu Xia Tian couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on his face. He had known that this Marquis Zhenwei's residence actually had such formidable power, he wouldn't have dared to barge in. The three strange beasts appearing before him were Di You Dogs, a type of demon beast with an acute sense of smell and unmatched ferocity. Unexpectedly, they were trained by the people of this Marquis Zhenwei's residence as guardian spirit beasts. Lu Xia Tian thought to himself that his ability to conceal his aura was not small, but he also had some trepidation in his heart about whether he could withstand the Di You Dogs.

Lu Xia Tian was now deep within the territory of Zhenwei Houfu, spanning dozens of miles. In such a rush, it was unrealistic to withdraw, and he would most likely become the target of the three Diyou hounds' attack.

If they were found by these three spirit beasts, the consequences would be unimaginable. Lu Xiaotian's face flickered with uncertainty as he pondered an escape route. His eyes suddenly caught sight of a dilapidated well nearby. He was immediately struck by it. The well was surrounded by numerous fire-type vines, indicating a plentiful supply of fire spirit energy inside. There might even be magma beneath the surface. As long as no one frequented this place, hiding in the well for a while would allow him to avoid direct confrontation with the powerful warriors from Houfu's mansion.

Lu Xia Tian's mind raced, but before he could think more, the obese man who had chased him outside suddenly turned back, muttering curses and saying that if he encountered that rogue again, he would break his legs. Lu Xia Tian's face turned bitter. A few Diyou Dogs were already enough for him to handle. If he was discovered now, whether he could keep his life was uncertain. Seeing a slightly smaller Diyou Dog seemed to sense something and walk towards him, Lu Xia Tian was startled. Without much thought, he gritted his teeth and plunged into the abandoned dry well from among the dense fire vines. As soon as he entered the well, Lu Xia Tian felt a wave of scorching spiritual energy hit him. There was a lot of spiritual energy, but it was too chaotic and not conducive to normal cultivation. It was no wonder this well was abandoned.

Feeling a Di You dog approach the cave entrance, Lu Xia tian hurriedly ventured deeper. Relying on the chaotic qi within the well, it was enough to conceal his presence. Even if the Di You dog was powerful, it would be difficult to find him. Moreover, the Di You stone was naturally fond of darkness and disliked places with abundant fire spirit qi. However, these Di You dogs were exceptionally strong, so Lu Xia tian did not dare to be careless. After all, the Zhen Wei Hou Mansion had many masters.

Lü Xia Tian, feeling a sense of caution, continued to venture deeper into the well. At the same time, he was also puzzled and wondered where he had arrived after being transported away from Piaomiao Palace through the teleportation array. This place seemed different from the former Yueyue Cultivation Realm or the various sects in the Lanmo Sea Territory. Places like Yueyin Mountain Villa and Zhenwei Houfu were somewhat similar to the worldly power and territorial divisions among mortals. However, Lü Xia Tian did not dare to treat this place as ordinary. Whether it was Yueyin Mountain Villa or Zhenwei Houfu, their strength was formidable and could easily support a small sect in any location. Within a day, he had encountered several cultivators at the late stage of the Golden Core Realm. Moreover, the spiritual energy along the way from Yueyin Mountain Villa to Zhenwei Houfu was even more intense than that of the Lanmo Sea Territory.

Lu Xia Tian's brows furrowed slightly. He hadn't figured out the situation here, leaving him feeling like a headless fly bumping around aimlessly. This feeling wasn't good, but he had been badly injured as soon as he arrived and had been busy stabilizing his wounds. He hadn't had time to gather any information.

The environment in the well was extremely harsh. After walking over a hundred zhang, Lu Xiaocen discovered that there were a large number of branching paths inside.

As soon as I stepped inside,

A sudden surge of fiery energy startled Lu XiaTian, and at the same time, a hint of surprise crossed his face. This aura was actually the legendary Earth-Moon Gang Sha!

The Earth-Moon Gang Sha is a very powerful kind of heart magma, but unlike ordinary magma, it possesses extremely strong lethality while also being usable for refining weapons. This is an ancient weapon refining technique, and ordinary blacksmiths would not use this material to refine weapons at all. Moreover, magical swords and the like do not need this material. Lu Xiaoteng was not a specialized refiner, and he was unfamiliar with this esoteric refining spirit object of Earth-Moon Gang Sha. He only had the opportunity to learn about it from the refining secrets on the seventh floor of the Floating Pagoda.

A Seventh-Rank Pagoda, following the usual refining methods, is nearly an impossible task. Furthermore, seven Demon Suppressing Towers cannot be simultaneously forged by multiple people; it must be crafted by a single individual. It requires a Master Alchemist to expend hundreds of years just to possibly refine one. A Master Alchemist is likely only attainable by a Nascent Soul ancestor at the very least. As for whether such a person would even give someone the face to have them forge an item for hundreds of years, that's another matter entirely. However, the Heavenly and Lunar Gangsha allows Lu Xia Tian a possible shortcut.

If so, the time he spent would be greatly reduced, and there was hope that he could refine the Seventh Level Pagoda. Lu Xia Tian's face was filled with surprise. Originally, when he entered Zhenwei Houfu, he felt a bit unlucky. Unexpectedly, there was such a change. It is truly misfortune turning into blessing.

With a gasp, Lu Xia Tian suddenly felt something unusual within his body. A tingling pain came from his dantian. Startled, Lu Xia Tian immediately entered his inner vision state and was shocked to discover that a faint crimson color had appeared in his dantian, as thin as a needle tip.

“Earth Flame Fire Poison!” Lu Xia Tian was a little puzzled. He didn’t realize that he had unknowingly been infected by the fire poison. He hurriedly checked his body for other abnormalities, and after a while, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this trace of extremely subtle fire poison had just entered his body. It was probably related to the special environment here. No wonder the fire spiritual energy here was obviously quite rich, but it was abandoned. It was because of this Earth Flame Fire Poison. Even he, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core, was slightly careless and was infected by the fire poison. This trace of subtle fire poison was easy to remove, but staying in this environment for a long time, even a late-stage Golden Core cultivator might not be able to withstand it.

> Originally, those fire-based vines around the well were used to prevent the flames and poison from spreading. It's a pretty good method. Everything in nature balances each other out. Those fire vines might seem insignificant at first glance, but they can be surprisingly effective when put to use.

As long as the spread of this place's fiery toxins can be stopped, it would also bring great benefits to many fire cultivators.

But Lu XiaTian soon thought of a serious problem. The fire poison in this well wasn't light, and he couldn't stay in it for long. Otherwise, it would be detrimental to his cultivation, not to mention the fire poison would constantly accumulate in his body. With his current level of cultivation, if this continued day after day, month after month, he would definitely not be able to hold on.

Although Lu Xia Tian knew several types of pills could suppress this poison, it was not suitable to refine them in the well's harsh environment. Even with pills, he couldn't stay inside the well relying on them indefinitely. To stay there for decades would be unbearable even for a Jindan cultivator.

And the Wei Hou Mansion was teeming with experts, and there were three Diewu hounds with extraordinary sense of smell. Those nine-tiered creatures surpassed him in strength, so Lu Xia Tian had no confidence that he could sneak here every day without being detected. It was truly a thorny problem.ultivators in the Nascent Soul stage are rare to find, a Great Cultivator is nearly the pinnacle that human cultivators of this realm can attain. This highlights the preciousness of the Breakthrough P...
